On Sunday, our friends left after breakfast. Angel and Cara were excited about the garden and wanted to purchase some of the fruits and vegetables when they are harvested. It’s another way the pack can make some money and Victoria and Ivy are already making plans to expand the garden. They were part of the group that wanted a store on our new ‘main street’, although they want theirs to be mostly an open-air market environment. Grace, Amber and Noah picked up some egg-laying hens. They seem to like their new living arrangements. It will take a few days for them to adjust, but we’ve assigned some of the older pups to watch out for them, feed them and let them graze in a fenced in area every day. We started with 30 hens, we’ll see how many eggs they can produce, but I think that Grace is already working on a plan for bring in more for the pack. If we produce an excess, we can sell the extras in the market. On Monday, Perry shows up with a crew and we get started with the morning shift.

When I think of fae royalty, King Ailduin is exactly what I’d expect. He is tall, at least 7 feet, his hair is white, even lighter than Angel’s, but not gray, just very white. His skin is pale but seems to glow giving him the look of someone in excellent health. And he walks with such elegance it’s almost as if he’s floating. His son, Aolis, is a smaller version of Ailduin. When I say small, I mean at 10 years old, he’s already over 5 feet tall, much taller than a normal human his age. Eli and I stand up to greet him. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to bow or curtsy, so I follow the example of the others and just shake his hand. “Guardian. It is good to meet you. May I have your name?” He says, holding my hand as he speaks to me. His touch has a strange warmth to it. It’s more than body heat, it’s feels more like a relaxing heat. I instantly feel calm. Maia pushes forward. “King Ailduin. I remember you, although most of my memories are vague. I am Maia and my human is Grace.” “Maia,

I am stunned at the power that Grace just pushed out. And according to her, it was only half her power. She literally knocked all three Alphas, a fae king and a group of warriors on their collective asses. Cara starts clapping. “Nice job, Grace!” Rik jogs over to Trevor who is limping but not injured badly. I walk with Ailduin and Liam back over to my mate. “Are you okay?” She asks me, her eyes looking over my body for injuries. “I’m fine. But, wow, baby. I had no idea you were that strong.” “I told you, it’s a LOT of power that I can feel now.” As Trevor limps closer she goes to him. “Are you alright? Did I hurt you?” She asks him, concern etching her voice. “I’m good, Luna. I asked for it and wow, that was something else.” “Maia? That was only half of your power?” Ailduin directs his question to Maia, rather than Grace. “Yes. I pushed my power into Grace’s Alpha aura and then helped her hold it back.” “Impressive. I will have to come up with another way to test your strengt

Eli and I went to our room early. This weekend, while taxing emotionally, has been good for us. It’s the most time we’ve been able to spend together in weeks and when we return to our pack, we’ll have to get right back to long, tiring days. I keep my promise from earlier and finish what I started. It feels good to reconnect with my mate, to be able to shut out the world and let it just be him and me for a couple of hours. The next morning, we both wake feeling refreshed and reconnected. We join everyone downstairs for breakfast before starting to work on pooling our Guardian strengths. Rik wasn’t happy about having Cara participate, so Ailduin had me and Angel work together. “Angel, since you’ve done this with Cara, let’s see if you can direct Grace’s power as well.” Angel walks up to me, taking my hand. “Ready?” I nod, looking at Rik’s warriors that volunteered to be part of our experiment. Ailduin tells us to start with half of the warriors being protected by Angel and the othe

When we arrived home, we were greeted with howls and yips of happiness from the pack. We found out quickly that more people had come to our borders seeking shelter. One group required Sirona’s medical attention due to their significant injuries. Not only had they run from their pack to avoid the persecution of an unjust Alpha, but they had been attacked by rogues. Noah told us that she had them in a portion of the pack hospital that has been rebuilt. It wasn’t ideal, since the hospital was still under construction, but it gave her the ability to treat them and keep the family of four together. Eli and I went to see the two other groups that had arrived, two adult sisters and a young boy and his sister. They had lost their parents after being banished and just happened to find us. Cammy and Summer made sure they had food and rooms in the packhouse. “We need to build an children's home.” Amber tells me. “They won’t be the only children that come to us without parents. We have the spac
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 52: Eli
Grace returned from the pack gathering with an additional 16 pack members. Six of those are warriors and the other ten are omegas. Carlos finds a place for the warriors and begins training them, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. It’s an adjustment for them at first, our pack being so young and needing so much work. But eventually, they appreciate being needed and begin to enjoy building a life with their mate literally from the ground up. Grace easily found places for the omegas, especially as our pack is growing. They were excited to be able to build their own houses and if they have a skill, they have the ability to expand that into a business if they choose. The ten pack members that went to spend time with their mates chose to stay in those packs. Once they realized that Rik, Cara, Liam and Angel are good leaders, they were more comfortable staying. It helps that they were evenly divided between the packs and therefore have some friendly faces around them. Over the next
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 53: Grace
As Eli and I head to the border, I have an idea of what this is. Over the past couple of months, both Cara and Angel have had, mostly vampires but other supernaturals as well, come to pledge their allegiance to the Guardians of the Realm, as they call us. Word of Angel's imprisonment and the Guardian's defeat of the vampires has spread quickly. However, when we arrive, I instantly understand why Carlos called them ‘creatures’. I have no idea what these little fairy looking supes are. There are five of them and they are flying around with their little wings. They can’t be more than about a foot tall, if that. They are shining and look like they are lit from within. They have strange, flowing gown-like clothes that look like they were made from plant leaves. Their hair and bodies seem almost opaque, and probably would be if not for the bizarre light shining from them. “Oh, I knew she’d be more beautiful up close.” One of the two males says in a stage whisper, looking at me. “Oh, and h

Fucking woodland sprites. I’ve never met a sprite before, and I could have gone my entire life without that shitshow. Of course, now, Grace has offered to let them spend time with our wolves. I'll have to order the patrols to stay on their watch and not go off having literal quickies with these damn creatures! “Do you think there’s any possibility that wolves could be mated to sprites?” Grace asks me as we head back to the packhouse. Alexander had shifted, much to the delight of the sprite twins, and asked if they wanted to meet him at the pond when he got off duty. I’m surprised they were able to answer through all their drool. “I have no idea. I would never have guessed that a 10-year old fae prince would be mated to a Guardian’s daughter, so what do I know?” I say, still feeling grumpy about this whole mess. Grace takes me hand and pulls me to a stop. She runs her fingers over my temples and into my hair. “Let it go, my love. They aren’t a danger. It’s just like being in a room w
